"I highly recommend looking for plants that can tolerate low light. Winter comes with shorter days, and fewer hours of daylight for your indoor plants," says Rachel Mayo of @growinthelight. "The winter season also comes with drier air. For that reason, I'd recommend plants that can survive without the humidity."
To help plants you already own survive the darker months of winter months, place them closer to windows to get more light and consider running a humidifier ($35). And if you're looking to add to your collection, the indoor plants below will thrive all winter long.
